Do they ever say why the USSR stopped doing the thing they were doing 100% deliberately

presumably they were shamed into submission by the media of the free world which as we all know was extremely credible and taken very seriously by its populations as a valid authority on current events since this was before evil people like trump started to lie about their being biased

Is the scholarly consensus that in spite of the directed efforts of the Soviets, there was simply too much food growing out of the ground to facilitate famine?

the scholarly consensus on if the Holdomor was intentional is effectively illegal to say in many western countries and also most parts of this website

Has any scholar compared the famine in USSR in the 30s to famine in China in the 60s? I think there are hidden issues of collectivization people honestly were not aware of until they had a bad farming year. Both of them were 10-15 years after the founding of the new country too.

Like how city planners build a lot of underground tunnels until you get a flash flood one day and you realize the water can fill up the tunnels in a short 5 minutes and people won't have time to escape out of the tunnel.

The commonality wasn't really collectivization but industrialization; both the Soviet Union and China were seeing significant urbanization at that point along with diplomatic isolation. They couldn't readily trade for more grain and both choose to prioritize urban over rural populations and you had significant fatalities as a result.

It is? Wow, I didn't know that, you're telling me for the first time. It was a horrible holodomor, what can you say. Whether you agreed or not, it was a horrible holodomor that took a lot of lives. Please enjoy this picture I made myself, which is as funny as it is true. Thank you very much

I’d noticed China articles always had an orange glow and had just assumed it was low effort use of the Chinese communist flag (red&yellow) to ingrain the commies=evil association. Lol I didn’t know they were doing it for all the other Asian countries. But of course they are.
